Compiled here are some of my
favorite TV and Movie Damsels at the stake. You'll also find details of
the episode or movie the frames are from, and more importantly - if it's
worth watching ! Most are screen captures so the quality isn't perfect,
but there are a few gems of photo's in there too, and also some higher
quality DVD caps. You'll also find a small
DVD icon directing to a link if the title is available on DVD and also
text to show if it's available on Stakeburner's video (either BBB1 or
BBB2)

Classic vampire/witch burning movie
from the Hammer stable (1972). Stars Peter Cushing and features some
decent scenes. The movie opens with a witch burning, and there are three
others through out the movie (the fourth doesn't count because the
fire is never lit - shame). Can't be bad. There are some really nice
photos for this one too and a couple of rare preproduction scans !(8/10)

Modern day vampire film (1991). Stars
the beautiful Michelle Johnson as the lovely damsel who is chained to a
stake near the climax of the film. This is a really nice scene and the
lighting of the pyre is very dramatic. Lots of shots of Michelle as she
struggles against the flames (and a few shots of her boots surrounded by
fire!) until her rescuers arrive. (9/10) **
New DVD Caps **

This is the first from two sets of
scans from a movie called Merlin. Apparently the fire is from a Dragon -
so this isn't really a BATS at all. I do know that the
damsel at the stake gets rescued despite the caps suggesting otherwise.
Many thanks to a good pal for allowing me to use these great caps. Can't
rate it, as I haven't seen it.

Merlin (2nd burning scene)

BBB2

This is the second burning from the
same movie Merlin (starring Sam Neil). I have seen the
clip and the damsel is one of the prettiest i've ever seen. She is saved
by the rainfall but the fire really gets going - difficult to imagine
how a little rain could dampen such an inferno but hey, that's the
movies for you. The caps (again by a good pal) are grabbed from DVD so
are really clear.
A short scene, but well done with a stunning damsel. (8/10)

And now for something completely
different ! W.A.V.E. movies (see links) have been making Damsel movies and
b-flick horror films on a low budget for a while now, and it was only a
matter of time before our first burning damsel. This scene is really
very cool. Although our
damsels acting is in question, she still is very pretty and we
see her stacked with pyre wood before the evil hooded executioner lights
her up. Lots of struggling/close ups. Not bad at all - worth it for the
'cute' value. (7/10) (Sorry about the caps quality)

Now here's some essential viewing.
There are two scenes in this movie from 1983, one is set back in the
1600's where townsfolk burn a suspected witch at the stake (see first
set of scans). Back to present time the very pretty Suzanna Love's
presence in the town brings the witches curse back to the town and the
mob try to burn her too. The second burning fails but is still very
watchable with lots of struggling against the stake. Decent effects make
these scenes very realistic and worth watching. (9/10). ** Updated caps. I've deleted the TV caps and
replaced with DVD quality **
